WEEK OF: April 14th - 18th, 2014

**Reading— we will have a vocabulary quiz on Wed. and story test on Thurs.  Our story Hottest, Coldest, Highest, Deepest is an example of Expository Nonfiction.  It is about nature’s record holders and how they fascinate us.  The skill for this story is compare and contrast. 

**Spelling— our list is made up of words with a controlled r.  A vowel followed by an r has a sound that is neither long nor short, but r-controlled. We will take a final test on Tues. 4/15/14.  You can practice your list words at Spelling City site http://www.spellingcity.com/view-spelling-list.html?listId=551221

**Grammar—we are working on Subject and Object Pronouns.  Our quiz will be on Wed. 4/16

- When a pronoun is used as the subject of a sentence, it is called a subject pronoun. I, you, he, she, it, we, and they are subject pronouns.

      - Pronouns that are used after action verbs or as objects of prepositions are called object pronouns. Me, you, him, her, it, us, and them are object pronouns.

       

**Math – We will continue with Topic 11 Two-Dimensional Shapes and their Attributes.  We will work on lessons 5-9. We will discuss Lines, Angles, Polygons and Quadrilaterals in this geometry topic.  Please continue to practice times tables.  We will be starting timed tests on division facts.
